GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Easily the best school in the county, because we are an early college we make certain sacrifices like sports and extracurriculars, but college classes cover a lot of those, and all of the unique positives of the school more than makeup for it.

It was alright but I would have preferred to go to regular high school because the teachers seem like they do not care about the students.
